Expression of a novel NAC domain-containing transcription factor (CaNAC1) is preferentially associated with incompatible interactions between chili pepper and pathogens.

Abstract excerpt

We aim to isolate genes in chili pepper that are regulated during the hypersensitive response to infection by nonhost pathogens, with a view to elucidating the defense responses against pathogen attack. Among the 90 transcription factors initially characterized by reverse RNA gel blot analysis, a cDNA clone, CaNAC1 (Capsicum annuum NAC1) containing the plant-specific NAC domain motif was further characterized....
